59.0. "OXFORD FREE FESTIVAL" by SUBURB::DANCEA (Hacking is my business...) Wed May 04 1988 15:24

    Hello out there all you GOOD Music lovers, okay, okay...I'm talking
    to myself again.
    
    I have heard through the grape-vine that there is a 2 or 3 day FREE
    Festival going down at OXFORD this weekend. Does anyone know the
    details about it, or have I been given wrong information?
    
    I was also told that Hawkwind (fav's of mine) are suposed to be
    at this Venue...So any help in finding more about it would be most
    appreciated.
    
    
    	Yours Hope,Hope,Hope Fully,

59.2I would have like to have been deep frozen too.SUBURB::CLARKEJBegin the day with a friendly voice....Wed May 04 1988 17:2413
    
    I saw Hawkwind a couple of weeks back at the Odeon (Hammersmith)
    and Dave Brock anounced that they would be playing a free fezzie
    at Oxford. As to when I don't think he said. Judging by the 
    amount of trouble Oxford had last year getting a site I would
    imagine they will keep it under wraps until the last minute though.
    
    B.T.W. Oxford is/was a venue on their recent tour and the show is
    worth every penny.
    
    bye bye now.......

59.3HAWKWIND - YEAH!!SUBURB::DANCEAHacking is my business...Wed May 04 1988 19:2315
    Yeah thats likely...i have got in touch with a few friends who know
    some of the organisers, so hopefully I shall have more details soon.
    But as you say, it's likey to be kept under raps untill the very
    last minute so the police don't get wind of it, like they did 2
    years ago.
    
    Well I hope it goes down, as I can't wait to see Hawkwind again..
    
    
    Anyone see 'em and Finsbury Parks ACID-DAZE last year?

    A note of warning... This is an illegal concert so beware.
    
    It is planned for end of May, and the location won't be released
    until 1 or 2 days before the concert.

I have been informed by a reliable contact that the Oxford Festival has been
canceled due to interferance by the police.

Well that seems to have put a stop to the fesy!
